THE GRINDHOUSE: HOLIDAY SPECIAL! grindhouse [grahynd-hous] n. – A grindhouse or action house is an American slang term for a theatre that mainly shows low-budget horror, splatter and exploitation films for adults. These aren’t your typical Call of Cthulhu scenarios where some classy, well-dressed investigator sips tea and pours over leather books in some wood paneled library. These are burning dumpsters of pure horror where a fleeing private investigator limps through some filthy back alley on a busted ankle while a howling pack of mutants try to beat them to death with the limbs of their dead friends. In other words, these are not for the faint of heart, and are intended for mature audiences only. Player discretion is advised. The Grindhouse Holiday Special! Silent Night, Gory Night It’s December 21st, 1978 in New England. The region has been hit by the blizzard of the century, leaving millions without power. In one particular apartment building, the tenants have decided to have an impromptu holiday party to make the most of a bad situation, but they soon begin hearing strange bumps and scratching coming from the walls. They might have dismissed the sounds as evidence of a rat infestation if it weren’t for the fact that they seemed to be playing music. Unlike the previous Grindhouse books, this features a single scenario that includes 4 pre-gens, handouts, and floor plans for The Cranford Building. It should be playable in a single, 4 hour session, though a role play heavy group could stretch it out by a couple hours. Note that this is a limited release scenario, and it will no be availavble after the holidays. Get 'em while they last!
